Allen submits Duncan in fifth to headline four-bonus night at UFC Vegas 122

Brendan Allen claimed a $100,000 performance bonus at UFC Vegas 122 on 11 October 2026 after submitting Christian Leroy Duncan with a rear-naked choke late in the fifth round at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The middleweight main event was Allen’s fourth consecutive victory, improving his record to 28-7.

Allen, nicknamed “All In”, had to be patient against the durable Duncan — known as “CLD” — but ultimately imposed his will on the ground to seal the finish and avoid a judges’ scorecards decision.

Three co-main card fighters also pocketed $100,000 bonuses for their own spectacular finishes. Otari Tanzilovi set the tone with a devastating head-kick knockout of Malcolm Wellmaker, following the initial strike with a sharp series of ground punches to seal the stoppage. Tanzilovi moves to 11-3 with the win.

Andre Fili matched that drama moments later, landing his own head-kick knockout against Kai Kamaka III just 22 seconds into the second round. The finish lifted Fili’s record to 26-14 with one no-contest and underlined his reputation as one of the promotion’s more technically gifted strikers.

Alice Pereira rounded out the bonus haul with a TKO victory over Darya Zheleznyakova. Pereira, nicknamed “Golden Girl”, controlled the first round entirely and opened a significant cut on her opponent. Zheleznyakova declined to continue before the second round, handing Pereira the stoppage win and the accompanying $100,000 reward.
